Powell tried to talk them out of invading Iraq, but he says that it became clear that it was going to happen. He was also given questionable evidence of nuclear stuff in Iraq, but he was told it was solid intel. I think he was lied to and deceived by Bush and Cheney and bad intel. When he gave...

You didn't -- I just bought a second shirt. ;)

I was part of 1st SOCOM (Special Operations Command, a special forces group), and I can tell you, women do a fine job, in combat and out. So yes, draft them if there's a draft. If they get preggers or something, they'd still be greatly useful, as for every 1 combat troop, we need 10 support...

Well, nobody's worse about wealth redistribution than Sarah Palin. Her state government takes 75% of the profits from oil companies, and gives that away to the people. Take from the rich, give to the poor, and at a tax rate of 75%. If Obama's a socialist, then she's a SUPER socialist. She should...

Isn't Palin the Super Socialist in this election? I mean, her state government takes 75% of the profit from the oil companies and redistributes all that wealth to the citizens. That's not a chump-change percentage of profit to be redistributing either. Think about if you were a business and for...

I give some away...but only to people dying of cancer, and only one of those at a time, and I already have a woman dying of ovarian cancer on my charity list.

Why yes, I do believe they were both inspired (as humans) and demoralized (as a political force in the world). I remember those days, and that's how it struck me anyway. What did you think of the newscasts and the politics in 1969? Did you get a different feel for the Russian reaction to our...

No, it won't happen again. After falling prey to negative attacks and voter suppression tactics from Republicans in the last two or three elections, Obama seems to have been ready for all the shenanigans, legal and otherwise. He has an army of lawyers saturating the battleground states to make...

Whew, I'm an old stoner. So I guess I'm safe?

You betcha! ;)

Most marriages are socialist societies in their smallest form. (Pooling money, redistribution of wealth to accomplish common needs, etc.) Guess we better outlaw that marriage thing, it's the source of all evil!

I was watching one of the negative aspects of federalism on the news this evening. People are taking their teenage children to Nebraska and abandoning them, which is legal in Nebraska but nowhere else. Got kids and they're pissing you off? "Hey kids, we're going on a road trip to Nebraska!"

I was thinking about how dumb the "anti-socialism" stance really is. What is a society? It's 2 or more people. That means that most marriages are socialist societies, the very smallest form. Most marriages pool their money to accomplish goals common to the entire population of two -- electricity...

Well, Buchanan has to create stories now, or he'd be out of a job. I forgive him. He's an amiable kook.

Yeah, those poor Fins, all happy with their wealth and prosperity and socialized democracy. Why can't they realize that their jobs and happiness and medical care and college educations are all the results of pure evil? Seems like they don't even care. Maybe they're too busy being prosperous...

Yeah, I really feel sorry for the Finnish people and their socialized democracy. I don't know how they stand free college, free medical care, a high standard of living, a plethora of jobs, and extra years to enjoy it all. Life is so tough under their 'regime' that they're one of the happiest...

The economy, and small businesses, do better under Democrats than under Republicans. It's been that way for eighty years. It's not even close.

Well, McCain said he's voted for Bush more than 90% of the time, and bragged about it. The 10% where they differed were actually some big things -- like Bush's tax cuts for the rich. But since he became the nominee, McCain has flip-flopped on virtually every position where he differed with Bush...

By "moderately successful" you mean the top 2% of small business, yeah, they'd pay a little more on taxes on business income above $250k (39% rate, what it was during the Clinton years, as opposed to the 36% rate from the big tax cuts targeted at the rich). If you take into account the other tax...

Anyone who takes Coulter's word for anything has a calcified brain stem.
